ZERO (sort of) Went on hike with Chris and Rich up the Sahale Arm from Cascade Pass. Had to stop once we hit the glacier because we didn't bring our crampons and axes. The snow was very consolidated and not very soft. It would have been too easy to slip and slide into one of the hungry crevasses below. Sahale peak was just past the glacier. Note to self: bring axe and crampons next time I hike to Cascade Pass. (and there WILL be a next time!) The fall colors were out and the blueberries were delicious! Total hiking distance: about 12 miles. Elevation gain: about 4000 feet. |
